Palacio (lower body) has dealt with multiple setbacks from the muscle soreness that has prevented him from making his Toronto debut, and is still seeing specialists to determine the full extent of his injury, with club general manager Jason Hernandez saying "He's obviously a young player who has a lot to give. He had long layoff and was coming to us ready to get himself going. He joined us in a moment where he had a lot of downtime, came in and obviously passed the medical, and was having a tough time getting himself going." per Benedict Rhodes of Waking the Red.
Palacio (lower body) is still working his way back to fitness, according to coach Robin Fraser, per John Molinaro.
